Novell Teaming 1.0 was first introduced in October, 2007 and quickly became a cost-effective collaboration solution for companies around the world. In July, 2009 Novell released Teaming 2.0, which incorporated many upgrades, including a new user interface, faster access, ability to track people and teams, customizable team landing pages, personal micro-blogs, guest users and much more.

The Teaming 2.0 release was a success, and helped Novell become an industry leader in the world of collaborative platform vendors. For example, in the August, 2009 Forrester Research, Inc. report indicated that Novell Teaming “brings very strong capabilities for workspaces and collaborative application development, particularly in the area of workflow.” See the report here.

The articles will be published periodically before the release date of Novell Teaming 2.1.
